The fun is in the messy creativity. The mature responsibility is in pulling substance out of the mess and bringing artistic product of value to bless our culture and those around us.

The art God has given us to share with the world comes from who we are on the inside. The ups, the downs. All of it, can become rich and real art to touch the world. 

We may not be  getting a "clean slate" on which to launch this new year. Some of our communication seems about as clear as mud in this crazy year, but our hearts are in the right place and we are slipping and sliding forward.

Times are tough. We look forward to the new year and we need the artists to nurture their creativity and arise with problem solving fresh ideas.

When I cannot travel, (Thank you virus) I let my imagination run away with me.
